Putting It Down on Paper

Then there's the books that you look to when you need to explain open
source or high tech concepts to managers, investors, directors, and so
on. There is actually quite a good selection of books out there these
days for exactly this purpose, not to mention plain old good reading.
I'll actually start with a film first, Revolution OS
(http://www.revolution-os.com/). It opens on August 23 but has quite a
limited set of release locations, which are listed on the site.

If you're looking for something a bit more managerial, then there's
always Mastering Virtual Teams (0787955892), while deep thinkers
might find The Social Life of Information (0857847625) more to their
liking. While many (including myself) would argue that technical
writers are technical staff, I'll include UnTechnical Writing
(0966994906) here since it really doesn't fit into any of the other
categories.

So there you have it: a snapshot of the best of the best in Linux-related
books out there right now. No doubt I've left out some excellent
books. I'm sure the moment this article goes up I'll be smacking
myself on the head and thinking of several that I missed immediately.
But at the very least, I hope I've provided a great starting point for
your book shopping adventures.
